Funding Options

Pursuing or defending disputes can result in significant expenses being incurred.

That is why the Commercial Dispute Resolution Team looks to offer a range of funding options. These include:

BTE Before The Event Insurance

Your business may be insured for Legal Expenses.  We can check your Policy and will often be able to offer our services through your insurers.

Fixed Fees

For a particular job or a specified level of work.

Normal Hour Rate

At a competitive rate.

Deferred Fees 

We would only charge at the end of the case.  We usually only offer this if sufficient security is offered.

Conditional Fees Also known as “No Win No Fee”

You would only be liable for our fees if we win your case.  In addition to our fees you would then pay an uplift up to 100% which would reflect the risk we took with your case.  Normally you would expect to recover most of our fees and uplift from your opponent.

After The Event Insurance (ATE)

We can also help arrange insurance called After The Event Insurance (ATE) to cover the risk of having to pay your opponent's costs in the event your claim fails.

The question of how much a case will cost and a cost benefit analysis will be frankly discussed at the outset and kept under review so that informed commercial decisions can be made about the conduct of your case.
